Enterprise weather forensics
Chemical/Munitions
Volatile chemicals can be a seriously liability in stormy conditions.
Petrochemical, chemical, and explosives facilities use lightning detection and
weather monitoring technology to enable safe and efficient movement and storage
of sensitive materials. Vaisala offers the most reliable systems used in
nowcasting and forecasting weather hazards.
Industrial
Factories, warehouses, banks, and a broad array of other commercial and
industrial facilities host activities that are susceptible to the effects of
weather. A data warehouse, for example, may need to activate backup power
generators in the event of an incoming lightning storm that could affect the
public power grid. With a full suite of weather sensing technologies,
Vaisala can provide solutions for weather-sensitive operations in most any
industry.
Mining
Mines of all types need information on a wide variety of weather
parameters. To help mines comply with permits and international standards,
weather stations are used to help model the movement of dust from blasting and
haul roads or gaseous pollutants from smelter stacks. Lightning
information is used to protect miners and the explosives used in blasting, and
drivers must also be aware of conditions on haul roads. Vaisala can
provide solutions for any mining operation, from small sand quarries to the
largest integrated metal operators, as well as underground mines.
Rocket launch facilities
Awareness of the weather is a mission critical component of a successful
launch. Launch facilities use weather radar, lightning detection systems,
and weather stations to determine when conditions are appropriate for launch,
potentially saving valuable rockets and payloads.
Telecomm
The telecommunications industry relies on the ability to efficiently maintain
and repair infrastructure. Telecomm companies monitor high winds, thick
snow, approaching thunderstorms, and other parameters that have consequences for
equipment or workers. Vaisala's remote and automated weather stations
provide the necessary information to help companies keep infrastructure intact
safely and efficiently.
